Best sling design

Was looking for one of these products and peak design has the best design for the sling including great compartments and phone holder. Much better than other competitors out there.
Great, but wish it had a spot for the Capture Clip

So far, this has been a fantastic bag for anytime I'm heading somewhere that isn't work. It has ample space for anything you'd need for a hike or long bike ride, or just to head across town for the day.
The only downside I've found—and I kind of expected this to NOT be the case because it's a Peak Design product—is that unlike other Peak Design products, there isn't a great spot for the Capture Clip. At the end of the day, it's not terrible to use a Pro Pad on the bag strap, but I would've loved a dedicated slot (or two) like you get on many of their other bags.
The 7L is a versatile sling that I use as a hip bag. Unlike my PD 6L sling, this is functional as a hip bag that can squeeze small, such as in a museum, or large, to stuff a light coat plus assorted gear. As a camera-centric bag, my PD 6L sling is better because it is structured to fit and hold my mirrorless plus 2 lenses. I can get only my Z5 and 24-200 in this 7L bag, with or without the XS camera cube. This 7L, however, is ideal for travel because it collapses and expands so easily. The backside cellphone pocket and smaller ones inside (SD cards, etc.) set this bag apart from competitors'. And it has enough strength to carry the weight of my camera + lens on the hip. In summary, the 6L is the perfect shoulder-sling camera bag when structure is important while the 7L is perfect as a hip bag when versatility is needed. Different bags for different purposes.
The bag is just the right size to go light. The fabric is strong yet very soft and does not limit the shape of the objects that can be placed inside. Just a perfect bag.It can be used for outdoor activities as well as for everyday outings.
Fits everything, stretchy pockets prevent keys jangling, the back flap holds an iPhone pro max in a case, it’s a bit too snug to replace my pants pockets. 9/10 would buy again.
Got this on Kickstarter. More than an outdoor sling, I wanted something simple to carry around my phone, wallet, notebook and other small trinkets on a daily basis on small walks and commutes.
This 2L sling does that perfectly. The backpocket fits my iPhone 13 Pro Max with a case and PD's mobile tripod, and the main compartment unit fits everything else I need. Key tether inside one of the compartments is amazing. The design is minimal and super sleek, I love it. And the shoulder strap is comfortable. I forget it's' there.
This bag is small. Do take that into consideration. Beyond the things I listed, you won'f fit much else. So if you have to carry a water bottle, an extra sweater or your lunch, this won't cut it. But if all you need is a very stylish sling to carry the essentials with extra comfort and amazing features, you can't go wrong with this sling.
